Mobilize your workforce with quick and easy secure mobile file access to corporate file servers and cloud file servers without a VPN.
Corporate file servers are typically accessed using a remote desktop (RDP) connection, virtual private network (VPN) or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). These access methods work well enough for desktop users but it is quite cumbersome to start because of the interactive nature. For example, a normal work flow will be clicking on some remote desktop icons or some VPN icon and connecting to the network, and remote desktop to access files and folders on corporate file servers.
For mobile workers, it would be nice for files and folders to follow workers on their mobile phones and laptops so they're readily available when needed. Users therefore have a tendency to turn to Dropbox and other 3rd party cloud storage services since they usually work this way.
However, if left unattended, using Dropbox and other 3rd party cloud storage services can lead to later problems around data sprawl and compliance issues when files are scattered in different places. With Gladinet, businesses can cloud-enable their file servers for secure remote access and mobile file sharing.
Files are cached locally so access feels instant without the cumbersome setup of remote desktops or VPN file sharing. Users get local performance when working remotely.
Legacy applications may continue to use the original file shares which remain unchanged even as CentreStack provides remote access to the same file shares from any device.
Minimize user training with a mapped drive that works the same on-premises or remotely. Provide a seamless local experience for users across multiple device factors.
Data stays on corporate file servers. Remote access is governed by existing permissions. File editing and modification always save back to the file's original location.
Combines NTFS permissions, Active Directory users and drive mappings with mobile access from any device.
Inherits file server compliance and allows admins to run HIPAA or GDPR compliance checks and generate reports demonstrating compliance for file access and collaboration.
Gladinet solution contains a web server front end accepting client agent requests from remote Windows, Mac, web browser, iOS and Android devices. Mobile applications present files and folders and related functionality.
Mobile applications send HTTPS/SSL requests to the Gladinet server. Gladinet server can log the requests for auditing purpose and also coordinate the file access and sharing demands before forwarding requests to file servers.
Active Directory and NTFS permissions are used to check whether the file requests are allowed. After that, file requests are satisfied and returned via HTTPS/SSL to client agents such as the mobile applications.
